Portuguese term or phrase: organicidade
Eu gostaria de saber se a tradução feita a partir do português para o INGLÊS da palavra organicidade está certa como eu fiz embaixo (para organicity).Eu acho que sim, será? Pq nao combina muito com o que vem depois na frase, veja, ou será que traduzi errado mesmo? Obrigada.

O que se observa nos PPAs desenvolvidos pelos governos analisados, além da recorrente parceria com o capital privado e organizações não-governamentais, é a fragmentação dos programas voltados para o desenvolvimento profissional dos trabalhadores distribuídos entre vários ministérios, o que gera duplicação de estruturas e de financiamento, sem a organicidade necessária para uma nação que precisa se constituir e se desenvolver.

Agora a versão a ser corrigida em inglês-organicidade:

What is observed in the PPAs that were developed by the analyzed governments, besides the recurrent partnership with private capital and non-governmental organizations, is the fragmentation of the programs aiming at professional development of workers from various ministries, creating duplication of structures and financing, without the organicity a nation needs to constitute and develop itself.

Se a palavra certa é organicity mesmo, não seria melhor colocar> without the organicity that a nation needs to constitute and develop itself.

O resto da frase está bem? Se não estiver, não acharei ruim de ouvir comentários.... Obrigada.

English translation:organicity/coherence
Explanation:
I am unsure about 'organicity'. As rhandler points out, there are various meanings for the word according to the audience (science, politics etc) but I believe they all relate to the root 'organic', whose meanings include 'structural, inherent, organized, coordinated (an organic whole). If your audience is a very specialized academic one (Marxists seem quite fond of the word) then 'organicity' may be ok. However, if your audience is a more general one I would go for an approximation such as 'coherence', which I think fits the idea here. I think I'm fairly well educated but did not immediately understand 'organicity', if that helps!

As regards your rendering of the rest of the phrase, I would make a few changes in order to break up the length. I think two sentences in English are very often the answer to lengthy sentences in Portuguese and Spanish.

Here's my attempt, since you asked!"

"What is observed in the PPAs developed by the governments under analysis, in addition to frequent alliances with private capital and non-governmental organizations, is the fragmentation of programs aimed at the professional development of employees from various ministries. This creates structural and financial duplication, and means that the coherence required by a nation which needs to develop is lacking."
